Method

heat oven to 220c/fan 200c/gas 7. Unroll a puff pastry, scatter over a
couple of handfuls of grated Parmesan, then fold
in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out to the
thickness of a £1 coin. Cut into 1cm strips, then
twist the strips 3-4 times. Lay on a baking sheet,
scatter over more cheese and bake for 12 mins, or
until golden. Leave to cool, then keep in an airtight
container for up to 2 days. As these cheese straws
are very delicate, roll them in kitchen paper before
packing into a plastic container.

Great, and so easy! The final product makes them seem a lot more difficult than they are - which is great for a dinner party! Highly recommended. I'd suggest cooking them for a little longer than 12 minutes, but I prefer them crispier :)

Wonderful! So yummy. I spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the pastry before I scattered on the Parmesan. I intended these to be for the weekend, for my bloke and I to dip into a 'bought' dip over the weekend. I suspect the dip will be left in the fridge though! However, I'm going to have to keep my hands away from them until later (I'm going to have to finish the one I started though - quality control of course!). I will definitely be making these again. Quick and easy and impressive!

Made these yesterday. I used a mature cheddar cheese and added pepper and about 1 tsp of mustard powder. They took about 12 mins to cook and came out great, lovely cheese taste and really crispy. Will make again for son's up coming 18th Birthday party.

These were a little lacklustre in taste but looked great. I may next time add some mustard powder to the rolled out dough, or a stronger tasting cheese, or even some garlic like one of the other reviewers mentioned. I might also egg wash them as well to make them shinier as the pastry is so flaky it looks a little dull.

excellent do them for parties all the time!!! great if you add in some garlic butter all you do is when you have finished the cheese part spread on the garlic butter and finish! taste great haven't had a complaint yet!!!!
